Dark matter distribution in dwarf spheroidal galaxies
We present predictions for the line-of-sight velocity dispersion profiles of dwarf spheroidal galaxies and compare them to observations in the case of the Fornax and Draco dwarfs. The predictions are made in the framework of standard dynamical theory of two-component (stars and dark matter) spherical systems with different velocity distributions. The stars are assumed to be distributed accordin...
متن کاملDark Matter in Dwarf Galaxies: The First Dark Galaxy?
We present new H i observations of the high-velocity cloud (HVC) that we resolved near the Local Group dwarf galaxy LGS 3. The cloud is rotating, with an implied mass that makes it dark matter-dominated no matter what its distance from the Milky Way is. Our new, high-sensitivity Arecibo observations demonstrate that the faint H i features that we previously described as tidal tails are indeed r...
متن کاملDark Matter in Dwarf Spheroidals I: Models
This paper introduces a new two-parameter family of dwarf spheroidal (dSph) galaxy models. The mass distribution has a Plummer profile and falls like R−4 in projection in agreement with the star-count data. The first free parameter controls the velocity anisotropy, the second controls the dark matter content. The dark matter distribution can be varied from one extreme of mass-follows-light thro...
متن کاملMaximum feedback and dark matter profiles of dwarf galaxies
The observed rotation curves of dark matter-dominated dwarf galaxies indicate low-density cores, contrary to the predictions of CDM models. A possible solution of this problem involves stellar feedback. A strong baryonic wind driven by vigorous star formation can remove a large fraction of the gas, causing the dark matter to expand. Using both numerical and analytical techniques, we explore the...
متن کاملA Model for Dwarf Spheroidal Satellite Galaxies Without Dark Matter
Self-consistent simulations of the dynamical evolution of low-mass satellite galaxies without dark matter on different orbits interacting with an extended Galactic dark halo are described. The calculations proceed for many orbital periods until well after the satellite dissolves. In all cases the dynamical evolution converges to a remnant that contains roughly 1 per cent of the initial satellit...
